Dallas officer fighting for his life after collapse

Editor's note: From the Dallas Morning News blog, reporter Tanya Eiserer reports: "I just received an update on Alex Garcia's condition. The good news is Garcia is now eating and drinking in small amounts. The bad news is that he has a minor MRSA infection in his lungs. MRSA is a type of staph infection that's resistant to common antibiotics used to treat such infections. Let's remember to keep this young officer in our thoughts and prayers."
